Jeremiah 30:12-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² “For thus says the Lord,
‘Your wound is incurable
And your ^(A)injury is serious.
¹³ ‘There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
^(B)No recovery for you.
¹⁴ ‘All your ^(C)lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have ^(D)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the ^(E)punishment of a ^(F)cruel one,
Because your ^(G)iniquity is great
And your ^(H)sins are numerous.
¹⁵ ‘Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your iniquity is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
¹⁶ ‘Therefore all who ^(I)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, ^(J)will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will be for plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
¹⁷ ‘For I will ^[a]restore you to ^[b](K)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an ^(L)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one ^[c]cares for her.”’
